Hello Djembefola.com

Hello everybody!
My name is Aleksandr, I`m from Moscow (Russian Federation). I`m learning to play djembe and dunduns. My teacher name is Kalou Kouyate, he`s from Guinea Kouroussa.
There`s a lot people in Moscow who played djembe, but a few of them are played like it`s meaning to be played in West African tradition.
I have to thank you all for this great forum, i`ve found many useful info in your posts.

Hi Bubudi.
Interesting, you name this rhytm as "denabendunun", and Kalou told us - it`s "wallah-wallah".

are there any other teachers there who come from west africa?

No, only Kalou.
